Hon. jacob Sohnaidt, of Memo, one
of the legislative representatives of the
Yankton district, who was in the city
last night, reached Memo from Bis
marck last Saturday, for a visit with his
family, and came from there to Yankton
yesterday. He intended to leave on
this morning's Northwestern train for
Bismarck, but that road is blockaded
and he took the Milwaukee instead. Mr..
Schnaidt looks upon the Yankton court
matter as safe. About the appropria-
tions he could give no information,
everything being yet uncertain.
Eden Maxwell's sudden and romantic
departure from the realm.of bacherlor-
hood sends q thrill of surprise through
the community. 1t is seldom that a man
Of his advanced years ventures upon TIE
sea of matrimony and when he does he
is to be congratulated. Eden was about
the first man to come to Dakota and
about the last n to get married. No
one supposed he eve would take SO
radical q step and it is therefore with
profound establishment that we record
the event. Having travelled alone SO
many weary years he will know how to
appreciate a loving companion. The
usual blessing is extended.
